    In this photograph, President Ronald Reagan welcomes members of the U.S. Summer Olympic team to the White House South Lawn on October 24, 1988. The team’s visit followed competition in Seoul, South Korea earlier in the month. Surrounding President Reagan were some of the stand-out athletes from that Olympiad: kayaker Greg Barton, swimmer Matt Biondi, swimmer Janet Evans, track and field star Florence Griffith Joyner, and boxer Andrew Maynard.
